“Biblical ‘ELECTION’ – 101” …Blog. [1/2]
***
(Mark 13:20-to-23) And unless
the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved. But for the ELECT’S
sake, whom He has chosen, He has shortened the days.
(Mark 13:21)
And then if anyone shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ! Or, lo, there! Do not believe him.
(Mark 13:22)
For false Christ’s and false prophets will arise and will give miraculous signs and wonders in order
to seduce, if possible, even the “ELECT”.
(Mark 13:23)
But take heed; behold, I [Jesus] have told you all things beforehand.
*** (1Peter 1:2-3) “ELECT” according to the foreknowledge of God
the Father, through sanctification of the [Holy] Spirit, unto obedience and
sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
(1Pet 1:3)
Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy has begotten us
again; unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
[John 10:17-18]
*** (Ephesians
1:2-to-5) Grace be to you, and
peace from God our Father and from the
Lord Jesus Christ.
(Eph 1:3) Blessed be
the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us with every
spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ;
(Eph 1:4) according as He [God] chose us in Him [Jesus] before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and
without blame before Him in love,
(Eph 1:5) having predestined us to the adoption of children by Jesus
Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
Simple
Election: You get One Vote; Satan gets One Vote; & Christ Jesus gets One
Vote! Who wins the “Election”…? The One with the ‘Most Votes’…!
Yes, that is
an ‘Over Simplified’… description of “Election”. In reality, Christ
Jesus died for “All Mankind”… but “All Mankind”: will ‘NOT’ Accept: His Grace,
Mercy & Love. They “Damn” themselves by their Rejection of His provision
for Salvation. Knowing about Jesus: is Not “Election!” Knowing what the Bible
says about Him: is Not “Election!” Knowing what your Church says about God,
Jesus & the Holy Spirit: is Not “Election!” Memorizing Bible verses and
being able to quote them: is Not “Election!” Remember the Pharisees, Scribes;
Sadducees & Lawyers could do the same. And they Rejected Christ Jesus their
Messiah! Only His “Elected” have His Holy Spirit. [Romans 8:9] Throughout these
blogs, perhaps see what it says about “Election”…? Are the “MANY” below,
“Elected or Not”…?
Did “Christ JESUS”… Say… “Some”…
“Few”… or… “MANY”…?
He Christ, said… “MANY”…!
*** (Matthew 7:21-22-23) NOT Everyone = who
says to Me [Jesus], Lord! Lord! Shall
enter the kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will [Word] of My Father [God]
in Heaven.
(Matt 7:22) MANY = will say to Me [Jesus] in that day, Lord! Lord! Did we not prophesy in
Your name, and through Your name throw out demons, and through Your name do
many wonderful works?
(Matt 7:23) And then I [Jesus] will say to them = I never knew you! =
Depart from Me, those working Lawlessness! [Many said they knew Him!]

*** (Luke
4:4) And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written that “man shall Not live by bread
alone; but by “Every” –> Word of God.” [Matt 4:4 & Deut. 8:1-2-3]
Do ‘You’
believe “Everything”… that ‘You’ hear from the Pulpit in your Church;
“Yes or No”…? Do ‘You’ take your Bible and validate or invalidate; “Everything”;
that your Church Denomination believes & teaches…? Whose side are ‘You’ on: “Anyway”…? When we all stand before the
Judgment Seat of Christ Jesus, “What will He use to judge us All”…? What your
Church teaches or what “His Holy Word: Says”…? [John 12:48] Remember “All ‘Christian’ Denominations” are ‘Man
Made’. They all ‘Say’ that they “Believe in Jesus & the Bible”. But why
then is there so much disagreement…? Simply put: They like the Believers in
them; “Simply Believe their Denominations, before they Believe God & His
Holy Word…! They are in ‘Fact’: Serving Two Masters! Both cannot be Right:
“Only the Bible is Absolute Truth!” Which “ONE” do ‘You’ believe…?
*** (Luke
16:13) No servant can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and
love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. You
cannot serve God and mammon.
***
(Acts 17:11) These people
were more receptive than those in Thessalonica. They were very willing to
receive the message, and every day they carefully examined the Scriptures to
see if those things were so. [Or NOT!]
*** (Amos 8:11) Behold, the days come; says the Lord
Jehovah, that I will send a famine in the land; not a famine of bread nor a thirst for water; but of = “HEARING” =
the Words of the LORD Jehovah [The Holy Word of GOD].
*** (1Peter 3:15) but sanctify the Lord God in your
hearts, and be ready always to give an answer to everyone who asks
you a reason of the hope in you, with meekness and fear [of God];
…
*** (Romans 8:9) You, however, are not of the flesh but
under the control of the Spirit; since God's [Holy] Spirit lives in you. And if anyone ‘does not’ have the Spirit of Christ, he does = ‘NOT’ =
belong to Him.
*** (Jude 1:19) These be they who separate themselves,
sensual: having NOT the [Holy] Spirit.

do Christians go ‘Wrong?’ – 101” …Blog.
…
*** (Galatians 4:16) So then did I become your enemy;
speaking to you the “Truth?”
*** (John 17:17) Sanctify them through Your Truth. Your
Word is Truth.
*** (1Jn 2:21) I have not written to you because you do
not know the Truth; but because you know it; and know that -> ‘No Lie’ is of
-> the Truth.
Understanding
Bible Truth… is ‘Not’ of any academic or mental ability. Unless one is Born Again
by the Holy Spirit: They will ‘Not’ understand the Bible. Consequently, Bible
Truth cannot be taught ‘Academically’: because an Academic Understanding of the
Holy Word of GOD… cannot change your “Evil Heart!” [1Corinthians 2:14] The Academic
Jew of Jesus’ day, “Surely MISSED” what He had to say to them. So like today,
“Most American Christians”, cannot take their Bible and “DEFEND”: what they
‘Believe!’ Simply Put: Can ‘You’ take your Bible and “Defend Everything” –> “You Believe”…? “Yes or No”…? If ‘You’ cannot defend
it; knowing it is Truth from God: in your heart: “Why do ‘You’ then, share it
with Others”…? [Isaiah 8:20]
*** (John
6:63-to-65) It is the Spirit that makes alive, the flesh profits nothing. The
words that I [Jesus] speak to you are Spirit and are Life. [Eternal]
(John 6:64) But there are some of you who do ‘Not’ believe. For Jesus
knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe; and who is the one
betraying Him.
(John 6:65) And He [Jesus] said, Because of this I said to you that no
one can come to Me unless it was given to him from My Father [God].
(John 6:66) From this time “MANY”
of His disciples went back into the things behind: and walked no more with Him [Jesus].
***
(Psalms 119:11) I have hidden Your Word in my heart; so that I might not sin
against You [Lord].
*** (Jeremiah 17:9-10) The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can
know it?
(Jer 17:10) I
the LORD Jehovah search the heart, I
try the reins, even to give to each man according to his ways, according to the
fruit of his doings.
*** (Isaiah 26:10) Let favor be shown to the
wicked; ‘Yet’ he will ‘NOT’ learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness he
will deal ‘unjustly’, and ‘Will Not’ behold the majesty of Jehovah the LORD.
*** (Proverbs 17:15) He that justifies the wicked; and he
that condemns the just; even they both are
abomination to the LORD. [1Corinthains
5:11-12-13]
*** (Psalms 66:18) If I regard iniquity
in my heart; the Lord will ‘Not’ hear me:
*** (Proverbs 28:9) He that turns away his ear, from hearing
the law; even his prayer shall be
Abomination.

While discussing “Election”… some of these questions arise.
1. If God foreknew who would accept Him, why
did He create all of Mankind?
Answer:
*** (Isaiah 55:8-9) For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways My ways, says the LORD.
(Isa 55:9)
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your
ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
2. Are
some Elected… to be “Saved”:
and some Elected to be “Damned”?
Answer:
*** (Acts
17:30-31) Truly, then, God overlooking the times of ignorance, now He strictly commands all men everywhere
–> “To Repent:,
(Act 17:31) because He [God] has
appointed a day in which He is going to judge the world in righteousness by a
Man [Christ Jesus] Whom He [God] appointed, having given proof to all by raising Him from the dead.
Christ Jesus
also COMMANDED –> “Repentance!” [Luke 13:1-to-5 & Luke 24:47]
***
(John 6:44) No man can
come to Me [Jesus], except the Father [God] which hath sent Me draw him: and I
will raise him up at the last day.
*** (John
10:16) And I have “Other Sheep” –> who are ‘not’ of this fold. I must also
lead those; and they shall hear My voice: –> and there shall be one flock:
one Shepherd.

*** (John 5:39-40) You search the Scriptures, for in them
you think you have eternal life. And they are the ones witnessing of Me
[Jesus],
(John 5:40)
and you will not come to Me that you might have life.
*** (Psalms
98:2-3) The LORD Jehovah has made known His salvation; His righteousness
He has unveiled to the eyes of the nations.
(Psa 98:3) He has remembered His mercy and His truth toward the house
of Israel; all the ends of the earth
have seen the salvation of the LORD Jehovah.
